Exactly. This touchy feely make everyone feel good is a bunch of phooey.Where do you learn practice and patience and self esteem not to mention pride and commitment?
I got news for everyone including soccer moms who like their kids to play for "fun". REALLY?
The world is not fair or fun..Everything is a competition.EVERYTHING.We are doing no service to those children that can succeed on the fields or in school by dragging them down so that everyone is equal.






Really no score keeping...wth?...I was told that if
scores were kept there would be a winner and a loser..huh?
and playing the game is just to have fun....
what's there to work hard for then?
how do they learn how to be gracious winners
and not be sore losers???...

Made offer on the Kong in classys a freshly polished provari and a gtank.....
Was it the guy that was asking $400? 8-o (I think he's nuts!)

I like your dad!!! I hope you dont need to call her back. I bet our very own FV could pm you with a mix that you could soak in tonight:)
Really good stuff - that oatmeal bath stuff.... Aveeno??? It takes the itchies out of chicken pox too!

Chips, hats off to you for the weight loss, that's amazing! And the doc charts are unrealistic. I've starved myself down to what the chart says I should weigh, but then I look like a Q-tip with eyes and dreadlocks. Kinda like my avi. And I can't maintain it. I refuse to suffer, and round is a lovely shape. :laugh:
I used to give the docs a hard time when I was in the Navy. They used these outdated height/weight charts that said I was overweight. You've seen my pic in my avi, I'm 5'8" and about 140lbs. They totally ignored bone structure! If I lost the 20lbs their charts said I should, I'd look anorexic! :laugh:

Well said...these same kids that grew up with the "for fun" and " don't hurt my feelings" mentality are now having
problems making it in the job market ...20/20 or one of them did a story on it. They think they should make the
same as someone who has worked there 30 yrs..:grr:
100% agreement. I could not believe it when they started giving every kid a trophy. For showing up. So much for the kid that excelled getting the kudos that he deserved. The kid that gave no effort got the same thing. grrrrrrrr.
trophies don't mean anything anymore except you showed
up to get it..
Ask the kids who won - they know. ;)
my grandson knew who won...but it really upset me when he asked
why everybody couldn't know..:(
